UP-based researchers and staff 

To employ UP-based researchers and staff, a faculty may request through the IB director for an authority to hire AND an authority to fill. These documents are processed through HRDO (through channels). No personnel may be hired until the authority to hire and the authority to fill have been approved.

Project-based researchers and staff (UP contractual)

To hire project-based researchers and staff (e.g., project staff, consultants, research assistants, science research specialists, and other non-employee personnel), project leaders need to process a notarized contract of service or job order per personnel. Signatories should be between the staff and the project leader with the IB Director and the CS Associate Dean for Research, Innovation, Development and Enterprise (ADRIDE) as witnesses.

Personnel who are working in IB but are funded by projects implemented by other institutions (e.g., NSRI) or foundations (e.g., MERF) shall use the contract of service set by the corresponding implementing agency. However, the project leader must provide a copy of their contracts to the IB admin office for records.
